Key Summary
The program will help you understand how international and European politics work, and what are the challenges faced by states, business, NGOs and individuals, in the globalized world. You will learn about the key points of contestation in world politics, but also about the functioning of the European Union and global institutions, and how international conflicts can be productively transformed into cooperation.
The program offers a double-degree option with the Department of Political Science and Public Administration at the University of Konstanz, Germany. Applicants are selected, based on merit, after the first semester. Successful graduates will obtain Master’s degrees from both universities.
The structure of the program is based on an interdisciplinary framework. In addition, we put an emphasis on the development of your analytical capabilities and critical thinking.
We offer a wide range of scholarships, from development to merit-based scholarships.
